Helpful Reminder

If you are picking your child up from school, please try and do it before 2:00, especially on Fridays. This will help with the traffic we have up at the front office during this time. Also, if you are checking your student out for an appointment or to leave early please let the front office staff know in advance. This will help with getting your student ready to go when you arrive. Thank you!!

Want to Volunteer??

BIST Training Sessions for Families

As part of ongoing support for families, your child’s school is offering a series of classes for parents and guardians through a partnership with the Behavior Intervention Support Team (BIST). These training sessions are designed to provide ways you can support your child’s developing academic and behavior skills, as well as increase consistency between home and school.
